Template:S8 instructions Series 8 of Doctor Who, consisting of 12 episodes, will air beginning on 23 August 2014. Filming began on 6 January 2014,[1] and ended on 7 August of the same year.[2] This will be the first full series to feature the Twelfth Doctor, played by Peter Capaldi; he will be joined by Jenna Coleman as Clara Oswald as primary companion throughout the entire run.[2] Executive producer Steven Moffat revealed in DWM 469 that, unlike the previous two series, series 8 will be broadcast straight, with no series split halfway through it.
Cast
Series 8 will see the debut of Peter Capaldi as the Twelfth Doctor. Capaldi was announced in a live television special, Doctor Who Live: The Next Doctor, on 4 August 2013.[3] The previous Doctor, Matt Smith, announced he was leaving on 1 June of the same year.[4]
The new Doctor will be joined by series 7, part 2's companion, Clara Oswald, as played by Jenna Coleman, in her first full series.[5]
Samuel Anderson will join the cast as a new recurring character, Danny Pink, a fellow teacher at Coal Hill School.[6]
The Paternoster Gang will also return,[7][8] and will each use a sonic device designed in a Blue Peter competition in the series.[9] Kate Stewart, Osgood and UNIT will also appear.[10]

Production
Brian Minchin, the new producer of the series, explained in the July 2013 issue of Doctor Who Magazine that "I have just spent a very happy few days meeting some scarily clever writers, and we have an incredible set of stories to work on. More adventures ahead!". In a May 2013 interview, Steven Moffat claimed that "the next season is plotted out."[21]
The first readthrough for series 8 was held on 17 December 2013[22]. This was an unusually long lead time, as actual filming for the first episodes of series 8 did not commence until 6 January 2014, with Capaldi filming his first scenes the next day. In a break from what was done with Christopher Eccleston, David Tennant and Matt Smith, the first episode filmed by Capaldi is also to be the first episode to be broadcast.[23]
